THE OTHER STUFF . . .

The Real Reason Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Unfollowed Prince William and Kate Middleton on Instagram. No feud alert needed here! It's no surprise that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have their own Instagram account these days, separate from the longtime KensingtonRoyal Instagram handle they had previously shared with Prince William and Kate Middleton. Back in April when the new account launched, the future mom and dad followed the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, as well as other family members, including Princess Eugenie. However, that's not the case today as the SussexRoyal account only follows 16 others and William and Kate's is not one of them. However, don't ring the royal alarms because there's quite the reasonable explanation for the sudden change. As the expectant pair explained in a new Instagram post, "May is Mental Health Awareness Month in the US and May 13-19 is Mental Health Awareness Week in the UK. To pay tribute to all of the incredible work people across the globe are doing in this space, we are hoping to shine a light on several Instagram accounts that promote mental well-being, mental fitness, body positivity, self-care, and the importance of human connection -- to not just hear each other, but to listen." As a result, they are highlighting 16 accounts they've followed that are in some way related to mental health. "We are all in this together," the couple assured. "We invite you to explore the extraordinary stories of strength, and the commitment to kindness as seen in the above accounts." They further confirmed their strategy, noting, "Each month we will honor this same concept and change the accounts we solely follow based on a different theme or cause. Please go to our homepage and click 'following' to see each of the select accounts and find out more about their work." Meanwhile, William and Kate are also carrying on with their royal duties and doing their part in the realm of improving mental health. The Duchess of Cambridge, whom Queen Elizabeth II recently appointed to Dame Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order, stepped out on Wednesday to open the Kantor Center of Excellence in London, which brings researchers, practitioners and young people together to improve mental health services. All in a royal day's work! (Eonline)

Game of Thrones Stars Help Grant 88-Year-Old Hospice Patient's Last Wish. Game of Thrones stars are coming together to fulfill an 88-year-old's last wish. Over the weekend, Claire Walton expressed to her caretakers that she wished to see the third episode of the final season of Game of Thrones and potentially meet one of the stars. So, in an act of kindness that won't be forgotten, the providers at HopeHealth in Providence, Rhode Island went to great lengths to make her dream come true. "HopeHealth, her hospice facility, dove deep into their network to create a video compilation of 10 cast members wishing Claire well," a spokesperson for HopeHealth tells E! News. "It was truly remarkable!" Of the 10 stars who sent warm wishes were Miltos Yerolemou, a.k.a. Syrio Forel, who played the master sword-fighter and instructor hired by Eddard Stark to train Arya Stark in season 1. Ser Davos Seaworth, whose real name is Liam Cunningham, also got in on the action. "I hope you're well enough to watch the battle, which is tonight," Cunningham wished. "Take care." Josef Altin, the Night Watchman Pyp, said, "Enjoy this Sunday; it's going down. Lots of love, darling!" According to the spokesperson, Claire was able to watch the much-anticipated episode before she died on Monday around 5 p.m. (Eonline)

Sarah Silverman's memoir heading to Broadway. Sarah Silverman knows that certain stand-up comedy routines she used to do just don't hold up these days. "Comedy is absolutely not evergreen," she said during a Tribeca Film Festival event with Mike Birbiglia on Monday night. "I don't stand by lots of comedy I did in the beginning," she admitted to the crowd at the BMCC Tribeca Performing Arts Center. "Boy, I haven't seen 'Jesus is Magic' in a decade or more but I would call it very problematic." Referring to the 2005 show, the 48-year-old said that along with other comics, they can only learn from mistakes and move on. "I can only accept myself and know that I grow and change," she explained. "I've done things in comedy I wouldn't do today because being progressive means that with all the new information that you get, you let yourself be changed." As an example, she recalled that she used to use the word "gay" to describe something that was lame, using her Boston roots as an excuse to say the word. "And then one day I was defending it and I had just heard myself and I was like, 'Oh I'm the guy that's like, 'What? I say colored!' and I went 'Oh my God, I'm that person." Silverman explained it was sometimes tough to find the line between being serious and funny as she met people and families with different viewpoints. "We can be compassionate and grow and change and still do hard comedy, and for me, for that last show, it was a challenge, but I feel like we did it," she said. During the conversation, Silverman announced that her 2010 memoir, "The Bedwetter" is being turned into a musical. "A year from now it'll be at the Atlantic [Theater]," Silverman said, noting that a formal announcement will happen in two weeks. "I'm not in it," she explained. "Adam Schlesinger, who is a great songwriter, had read the book and came over and he said, 'This is a musical!' and we noodled around with it and we started working with this beautiful playwright, Josh Harmon." The show follows the year that Silverman is 10 years old with a song named after the book's first chapter, "Cursed From The Start." (PageSix)

TMZ's obtained video of the TV personality and model catching the full brunt of anti-fur activist Rob Banks' fury Tuesday night at Cipriani Grand Central in New York City ... and you hear the guy trying to shame her in front of a huge crowd, but she doesn't take the bait. Instead of engaging with the man calling her a "heartless jerk" for wearing real fur, Chrissy does what she does best ... flashes a pretty smile and keeps on posing for pictures. Chrissy doesn't appear to be wearing fur to the 36th annual City Harvest Gala ... but she's no stranger to fur coats. Regardless of your stance on wearing fur, here's one thing we can all agree on ... Chrissy absolutely slays in a bikini. (TMZ)

Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade are springing into action to help the mother of the Alabama teen who recently died from suicide after he was mercilessly bullied for being gay. Sources tell TMZ ... the actress and NBA star are part of a group of celebs -- which also includes Ludacris and Janelle Monae -- donating money to help cover Nigel Shelby's funeral. Nigel is the 15-year-old who took his own life nearly 2 weeks ago. We're told the effort was spearheaded by Pinky Cole -- owner of the popular ATL restaurant Slutty Vegan -- and "Master of None" star Lena Waithe, who enlisted their famous friends to help out. Nigel's mother, Camika, had said Nigel suffered from depression and struggled with his identity. Our sources wouldn't say how much money was raised, but we know it was enough to cover the expense of Nigel's tombstone, funeral service ... and a separate amount to support Camika. Nigel's memorial was held over the weekend at Rock Family Worship Center in Huntsville, Alabama. He was laid to rest in a colorful casket wrapped in rainbows and butterflies. Nigel died just 10 days after Gabrielle attended the Pride Festival in Miami Beach with Dwyane's son, Zion. (TMZ)

Both Don Cheadle AND Jonah Hill showed up to watch Kevin Hart box a poker champ ... so says Antonio Esfandiari himself, who tells TMZ Sports his fight with the comedian was EPIC!!! We spoke with 40-year-old Esfandiari just hours after Hart released footage of their scrap in Santa Monica earlier this month ... and he told us all about how he prepped for the fight. After the battle, both fighters kept it professional -- giving props to each other for getting in the ring. "It was by far the most challenging thing ever," Hart said ... "I gotta give [Antonio] credit because he didn't let me fight the fight that I wanted to." So, what's Antonio's breakdown of Hart's boxing game? Esfandiari tells us the little guy's got POP -- saying Kevin's right-hand carries KO power!! As for the result ... Antonio won the fight via decision -- and ya gotta hear who he's thanking for the victory. BTW ... Kevin's so pissed about the loss -- he's already called dibs on a rematch in 2022!! (TMZ)

Hunter Biden splits from brother Beau's widow Hallie. Hunter Biden has allegedly split from Hallie Biden -- the widow of his late brother, Beau -- Page Six has exclusively learned. The breakup comes two years after we first reported that the former in-laws were dating in 2017. The son of presidential candidate Joe Biden, Hunter found love with Hallie following Beau's tragic death from brain cancer at age 46 in 2015. However, it is believed they have now broken up. When contacted, Hallie told us, "No comment." A source close to the family said it's a private matter. It's unclear why the pair parted ways, but sources further told us that the situation is "amicable." The news comes on the heels of Hunter telling Vanity Fair that rumors about his personal life would not affect his dad's 2020 run for the Oval Office. In January, he said in a statement: "My father has always been proud of me -- whether when I was volunteering for the Jesuits or working as a lawyer .?.?. And he remains proud of me today. He loves me. And he loves the American people far too much to let any form of adversity stand in the way of service." Former Veep Joe cited the death of his elder son as one of the reasons he decided against running for president in 2016. He, along with wife Jill, told us in 2017 regarding Hunter and Hallie: "We are all lucky that Hunter and Hallie found each other as they were putting their lives together again after such sadness. They have mine and Jill's full and complete support and we are happy for them." Hunter's divorce from Kathleen was finalized in April 2017. She broke down outside of court, marking the end of their tumultuous split. The couple had been living separately since October 2015, after 22 years of marriage. Hunter continued to VF: "The important aspect of my complicated divorce (like all divorces) and an equally complicated life, marked by the tragic loss of my mother, sister and brother, is this: My father has been a constant source of love and strength in my life." Reps didn't get back to us. (PageSix)

Sebastian Telfair's estranged wife claims the NBA star's sister threatened to "kill my kids and cut my face" ... all because she testified against Sebastian in his NYC gun case. Law enforcement sources tell us ... the LAPD responded to a call last week from Samantha Telfair, who claims Octavia Telfair called her roughly 52 times making various threats ... including a threat to "Slice [her] face and kill [her] children." Samantha told cops Octavia was furious that Samantha took the stand earlier this month and told prosecutors she had seen Sebastian with multiple weapons, including the gas-operated submachine gun he was allegedly carrying when he was arrested in June 2017. Sebastian -- a former NBA prodigy who flamed out -- was convicted in his gun possession case last week and now faces up to 15 years in prison when he's sentenced in June. Samantha lives in L.A. which is why the LAPD is involved. We're told officers took a criminal threats report and the LAPD is now investigating. We're told Octavia is believed to live in New York -- and sources tell us the NYPD is also involved in the investigation because Samantha filed an aggravated harassment report in New York as well. Attempts to reach out to Octavia for comment were unsuccessful. As we previously reported, Telfair -- a 33-year-old former high school phenom who spent 12 seasons in the NBA -- was arrested in June 2017 in Brooklyn when cops found several weapons during a traffic stop. Officials say Telfair had 3 pistols and what appeared to be a semi-automatic rifle along with a ton of ammo and a bulletproof vest. . . as well as some week. (TMZ)

Miss France Hopeful Dies After Being Struck by a Tractor-Trailer While Cycling. Morgane Rolland was cycling with a friend last week when she swerved to avoid a car and was hit by the trailer. A Miss France hopeful has died after being struck by a tractor-trailer. On Friday, Morgane Rolland, 22, was cycling with a friend on a small road in Loire when she swerved off the pavement, to avoid a car, and was hit by the trailer, Le Figaro reported. Within seconds, Morgane was pulled under the truck after getting stuck between the tractor and its trailer -- which was filled with logs, according to Le Figaro. Emergency responders arrived on the scene in hopes of rescuing Morgane and discovered she suffered cardiac arrest, the local outlet reported. She was then airlifted to a hospital where she was pronounced dead. Both Rolland's friend and the driver of the truck were unharmed, but very "shocked," radio network France Bleu reported. After news of her death broke, Sylvie Tellier, the National Director of Miss France, paid tribute to Rolland on Instagram "When fate steals the life of a young 22-year-old woman, we can only be upset by this tragedy," Tellier wrote. "Have a nice trip to the land of angels, beautiful Morgane!" "Deep thoughts for her parents, her fiance, her family and for the Miss Loire committee who had the opportunity to share moments of happiness with Morgane," Tellier added. Before her life was tragically cut short, Morgane was gearing up for a pageant that would allow her to compete for Miss France after being named the runner-up in the 2017 Miss Loire contest, according to La Chane Info. In addition to being a beauty queen, Rolland was a volunteer firefighter and loved to travel. Earlier this month, she shared a photo of herself backpacking in Ljubljana, Slovenia. (People)

Jenelle Evans' Husband Cleared For Killing Family Dog . . . Unless Jenelle Reports Him. UPDATE: Police went to Jenelle and David's house Tuesday night to perform a welfare check on Ensley. Officers found everyone, including Ensley, was okay. As for the dog -- a law enforcement source tells TMZ ... David told cops Nugget was alive, although he would not let them see the dog. We're told cops have no evidence showing anything happened to the dog. The Columbus County Sheriff's Dept. says it's contacted Animal Control, but as far as any further investigation from cops ... our source says Jenelle would need to make a report on her own. We're told officers won't act on "sensationalized media reports or social media posts." The source said it's irrelevant to cops what Jenelle says on IG. Meanwhile, PETA says it hopes charges are filed against Eason if it's true he shot Nugget. They say, "People who abuse animals typically don't stop there." (TMZ)

Keith Anderson Bio
Timetraxx host Keith Anderson hails from the Rock and Roll capital of Cleveland, Ohio. That may explain his penchant for the popular music of the mid 20th century. His first childhood memories are of the tabletop radio in the kitchen.

“I was born in 1955 so you might think it was Chuck Berry or Elvis that are my first impressions, but it was actually Lawrence Welk, who had a Number 1 Top 40 hit in 1960 with 'Calcutta',” Keith recalls.

Throughout his school years, he would seldom be seen without a portable transistor radio, twirling the knob to hear all the powerhouse radio stations in area – WIXY, WJW, WHK, and WKYC and the radio disk jockeys who would inspire him to pursue a career in broadcasting.

His ambition was realized when he enlisted in the Air Force in 1973.

“I had no idea that the military had a broadcasting activity until I was stationed overseas,” he said.

Keith eventually went on to complete a 20 year career, retiring in 1993, with assignments…
